Another data point for the preference cascade. In Jan, 20% of Americans thought COVID was the most important problem facing Americans, in Feb it was 13%, and in March, it’s down to 3%.  Tied with health care and lack of energy sources. Inflation has gone from 8% to 10% to 17%. The economy is at…

In the New York City mayoral race, the Dems were fortunate enough that Eric Adams, an anti-crime candidate, became the nominee, rather than the AOC-backed troll, and that the GOP candidate, who should have been able to deliver a compelling anti-crime message based on his history instead proved to be erratic, awkward, and past his…
